Pre-Congress Notices
I.V.U. CONGRESS In view of the necessity of making early reservation for sea, land, and air transport to Sweden, and also in view of the strictly limited accommodation at the Congress, vegetarians in all countries are asked to make their reservations both for travel and for the Con-gress without further delay. The agents of Thomas Cook & Son throughout the world have been advised of this important vegetarian gathering, and will render every assistance to those seeking their advice. Reservations for the Congress accommodation should be made to Carl Schelin, Secretary, Svenska Vegetariska Foreningen, Manhemsvagen 15, Sollentuna 3, Sweden, before the 1st March, 1953, and NOT to this office. The cost for the Congress for accommodation and Congress fees will be 130 Swedish crowns (approx. £9 or 25 dollars) for a room shared by two persons, and 150 Swedish crowns (approx. £10 or 28 dollars) for a single room. This will be payable on arrival. Our Swedish friends advise us that visitors to the Congress wishing to stay in Stockholm either before or after the Congress should book hotel accommodation now through their travel agents, since at that time the town will be overcrowded by tourists visiting the Swedish 700 Years Festival. Those people who have already made reservations for travelling to Sweden next summer for the Congress and who do not now wish to alter their arrangements to suit the change of date of the opening the Congress, would perhaps also like to book hotel accommo-dation for the one extra night involved. In this case if they will write immediately to Mr. Schelin he will arrange this for them. Please make your reservations without further delay. From the Vegetarian Messenger (Manchester): |
